Graduate students teach
By MIKE PARSONS
Staff Writer
Most graduate students at ECU that
need financial aid are on teaching
fellowships, according to Joseph Boyette,
Dean of the ECU Graduate School.
These teaching fellowships are actually
junior faculty positions, Boyette explain-
ed. The salary is determined by the
number of hours the graduate assistant
teaches.
For example, a graduate assistant
teaching a three quarter-hour class
receives about $400 each quarter. Depend-
ing on need, an assistant can teach as
much as 10 hours of class. The average
Whose fault is it?
teaching fellow (as these students are
called) earns about $2,000 for a nine month
period, Boyette explained.
The course load a teaching fellow is
allowed to carry is based on a maximum of
15 hours. The number of class hours he
teaches are then subtracted from the
maximum load 15 to give the maximum
course load each assistant is allowed to
carry.
For example, a teaching fellow
instructing a five-hour class would be
allowed to carry up to 10 hours of graduate
courses under normal circumstances.
Any student accepted to the ECU
Graduate School under the normal

THE REBEL, East Carolina University's literary and arts magazine has now gone to
press. The projected distribution date Is Wednesday, May 1.
The method of distribution will vary from ones In the pest. Due to the limited number
of issues, the magazine will be handed out at a distribution table located In the lobby of
the Student Union. The procedure will be similar to the one used by the BUCCANEER,
with ID and activity cards being necessary to receive your copy.
The distribution table will be manned by members of THE REBEL staff. The hours for
distribution will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m on the first, second and third of May.
This issue features a number of works which should be of interest to any student or
faculty member. Among these will be the work of Brian Vines, a freshman art student,
who did the cover here illustrated as well as several other pieces. Also from the Art
Department is a pen and ink drawing by Professor Reep. Numerous other students In both
the English and Art Departments have their works on display.
This issue spirals in several directions at once. Myth, madness, a comedy monologue
and experiments in Surrealist literature and art highlight the thematic thrusts of the
magazine.
Reactions to textbook shortage vary
By ANTHONY RAY EVERETTE
Staff Writer
Some of the faculty members have
ordered books through the campus
bookstore and found that their orders have
been cut short when they return to teach
the class. This often causes a shortage in
textbooks available to the students.
Mr. Ira R. Baker, journalism instructor,
was one of those affected by a shortage of
textbooks. When asked his opinion on the
shortage and how it affects his class,
Baker said he does not blame the
bookstore. He said that in his case the
needed books were ordered but the
shipment didn't get here.
Roger Bullock, the bookstore
supervisor, explained that the delay of Mr.
Baker's books was explained by the book
publishers as a computer error so the
company agreed to send the books by way
of a "hot shipment They did not get here
mmfmmmmwmmmmm
however and the company, Prentice Hall,
felt they must have gotten lost in the mail
shipping.
Baker says he attacked the problem by
putting his copy of the text on reserve in
thelibrary for his students to use. He said
this was only a small alternative and that it
didn't completely settle the problem. As a
result he had to postpone his first test
because no one had completely read them.
Dr. Veronica Wang in the English
Department was also hit with a shortage of
textbooks for her English classes. She
said her students went three weeks
without a textbook. Dr. Wang also referred
her students to the reserve room in the
library. "This textbook shortage was very
frustrating and inconvenient for both the
students and myself Dr. Wang stated.
"The fact remains that my original book
order was cut short by the bookstore and I
feel that if the bookstore would order the
�P
mmm
m
m
number of books that the faculty requests
there would be no shortage
Bookstore supervisor, Bullock, re-
sponded to this statement saying that the
faculty never knows for sure how many
students they will have, so that they can
only guess at how many books will be
needed. Bullock said these figures are not
always accurate so he places his order
based on how the book sold in the past
quarters when it was used. He said he
also bases his figures on the number of
students that pre-register for the
course. He said he gets the figures direct
from the registrar's office and feels that it
is a reliable source because about 90
percent of the students do pre-register.
Bullock also explained that the
publisher allows the bookstore to return
only 20 percent of the books ordered so
that even if they would have a store full of
left overs they could not be returned
because of company's policy. Bullock
said it once took him two years to finally
get all left over books cleared up and
returned to the publishers because of the
20 percent rule. He explained that when
there is a shortage of books, they can
re-order more but he said that the time it
takes for the re-order to come back
depends on the publisher from which the
books are ordered. "Wholesalers are a lot
faster than the large publishing companies
when it comes to filling orders he said.
Bullock feels that cutting the number
of books ordered by the faculty is essential
to avoid an overstock and says that he will
continue using this method. Bullock fees
his method is reliable though not always
accurate and concluded that he would be
willing to talk with anyone about the
method of ordering books anytime to clear
up any possible misunderstandings.

Pitch In
Colleges and universities throughout
the country are being invited to participate
in National College "Pitch In Week, April
22-27. The event, sponsored by Budweiser
Beer in cooperation with the ABC
Contemporary Radio Network, is based on
the nation-wide "Pitch In" anti-litter
program. Participation may be from the
entire student body or approved individual
campus organizations.
The idea is for students to team up in
ridding the campus andor surrounding
community of a little problem. A grand
prize will be awarded in each of five
regions for the most creative and effective
"Pitch In" effort. Each of the regional
winners will receive an assortment of
audio-visual equipment valued at $1,000.
To enter the competition, colleges or
organizations should send a letter or post
card indicating their desire to participate
to: College "Pitch In" Week, American
Contemporary Radio Network, 1330
Avenue of the Americas, New York New
York, 10019.
Evidence documenting particular
efforts by schools and groups may be in
the form of written summary, along with
photos, newspaper clippings, tapes,
motion picture film, etc. All reports on
individual "Pitch In" projects are to be
mailed no later than May 17.
Regional winners of he $1,000.00 prize
will be selected by a panel of judges. All
entries become the property of the ABC
Contemporary Radio Network.
The sponsors point out that the event
gives concerned students an opportunity
to work together on a worth-while project.
Satisfying results will show up
immediately. But, even more important,
the project pays off in lasting
results. Research shows that a littered
area attracts more litter; a clean area
influences people to behave more
considerately.

African workshops
Have you ever had the opportunity to
try real African food? There is a tendency
to relate Afro-American "soul food" to
African food. There is a difference
between the two. This difference will be
the subject of a workshop demonstration
conducted by Dr. Robert Bunger. Dr.
Bunger will make a presentation on the
preparation of African dishes. In addition,
he will also prepare several dishes for the
audience to sample.
According to Dr. Bunger, there are
several African dishes that are very simple
and inexpensive to prepare. He has been
known to feed ten people ior one dollar.
Following the food workshop, Dr. Jo
Saunders and Dr. Robert Bunger will
conduct a workshop on African dances. In
addition to demonstrating several native
African dances, members of the audience
will be taught the dances. The dances are
very easy to learn. Music for the workshop
will be performed by a live rhythmic
section consisting of African students.
These two workshops will be
conducted April 24, at 7:30 p.m. in room
201 of the Student Union. There is no
admission. The program is being
sponsored by the African Studies
Committee and is being held in
conjunction with the Black Arts Festival.

Canticle
The Canticle proudly brings back to the
stage this weekend Sally Spring. Sally's
surprized appearance with Henry the
Fiddler after Nick Hallman's show a few
weeks ago was certainly appreciated by
all. She amazes the audience with her
unforgetable strong and clear country
voice. As a poet and composer, Sally
carries her music beautifully from her heart
to yours.
Sally has been playing for about ten
years and has performed in clubs,
coffeehouses and festivals across the
nation and Europe as well, including a
performance for the Prince of Italy.
For those who heard Sally before, you
know how beautiful, moving and perfected
she is. And those who haven't heard, Sally

Saturday night (April 19, 20). Show starts
at 8:00 in Room 201 of the Student Union.

Meyers telks of Soul City future fntl
By HELENA WOOOARD
Staff Writer
Lewis H. Meyers, a Soul City
Foundation representative, spoke on
campus last week about the future of the
newly formed development.
McKissick Enterprises, the managing
entity, was set up in 1968 by Floyd B.
McKissick, founder of Soul City. The
Company also consists of the National
Corporation for Housing Partnerships, a
federally chartered corporation and
Madison-Madison Internalidhal, Planners
and Architects. Floyd McKissick was
formerly the National Chairman of the
Congress of Racial Equality, (CORE).
Soul City, the first free-standing new
community in the United States, was
backed by a $14 million bond guarantee by
the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development in 1972. Land was
purchased in 1969 under a loan from New
York's Chase-Manhatten Bank.
Warren County, North Carolina was
chosen as the site for Soul City because of
available land, water and good access to
transportation. The Foundation is approx-
imately 10 miles south of the Virginia
border, five hours from Atlanta, Georgia,
three hours from Washington, D.C and
one hour's drive from Chapel Hill, N.C. It
is accessible to the Interstate 85 and 95
highway routes. The Seaboard Coastline
runs through it.
In order for Soul City to be
self-sufficient, Meyers said, it must find a
financially economic base. Profit-sharing
plans will hopefully result through the
inhabitants' ownership of the economic
profits. This, Meyers said, was one of the
basic premises of the planning of Soul
City. The Soul City Investment Corpor-
ation, (SCIC), formed in 1971, has over 95
share holders.
Meyers stated that industrial jobs will
hopefully serve as the city's greatest
financial contributor. The Foundation
hopes to have 50,000 inhabitants over the
next thirty years and over 18,000 jobs over
Ceramic show is
Old World adventure
By LAURIE BRUTON
Staff Writer
Larry Benfield's Senior Ceramic Show,
displayed in the Rawl cases, is a
momentary adventure back into the old
world.
The three cases contain a variety of
ceramic housewares that could be best
used in any contemporary home using
predominately earthen colors. The back-
ground that Larry set up for his display is a
brown burlap fabric. The pieces them-
selves are placed on a beige velveteen
material; bringing out the rich earth-tone
glazes of his works.
The five small goblets in the first case
lack a geometric preciseness which of
course attributes to the relationship
between aesthetic qualities and the nature
world around us. The glaze used in these
goblets appear as though the sun was
being reflected on an oil slick.
An unusual mirror in the same case
combines a space-ship modemess with a
barbaric massiveness. It's function as a
close-up mirror is carried through
remarkably. You can see yourself easily as
the surface of the mirror is convex and the
mirror's fist-sized base allows you to lift
and move it simply.
In the second case stands a black
candleabra The eye moves easily from
one point to another on it and brings a
pleasing over-all effect to the viewer. Mov-
ing from the base to the middle, the eye
follows a thick bottom upwards to a
circular mid- points At the top placed
horizonally, three candle holders make
room for three candles.
In the third case, a prehistoric type
wall hanging caught my attention. This
piece appears to have been done in browns
and beiges and inlaid designs and symbols
were used, thus bringing out a mysterious
quality. A small, square mirror, typical of
many of Larry's pieces, is placed deeply
into the work.
The show can be seen through April 20.

the next twenty years. Soul City currently
houses 15 families in mobile units and has
a total of 58 inhabitants. Accountants,
architects and engineers are badly needed
to help plan the industry.
Meyers expects no mayoral or city
council government over the next few
years. The Sanitary District, established
in 1973 is voter controlled and has powers
similar to a municipality or a country. It
can levy taxes, establish a fire department
and build and operate sewage and water
treatment plants. The Soul City Sanitary
District is governed by three commission-
ers. Citizens will be able to buy lots - with
restrictions. For example, no business
may be operated in a residential district.
Several social projects have been
planned and some are operatic; lal. Under-
way are projects for Cultural Arts,
Education, Social Advocacy, Soultech I
and HealthCo Inc. The Foundation plans
legal services, child care and drug abuse
programs. The creation of an Afro-Ameri-
can Park has also been developed Soul

requirements is eligible for a teaching
fellowship. The allotment for these
positions is the responsibility of each
school or department. The positions are
funded by the university.
These positions are awarded according
to supply and demand. In some
departments, there is heavy competition
due to the number of students applying,
Boyette said.
Besides teaching fellowships, there are
really no other types of aid available on a
regular basis, Boyette said. At one time,
:here were grants available in the School of
Music, but he understands the program to
be discontinued due to lack of funds.
There are a limited number of
fellowships available from other sources
These are generally in the sciences and all
require service of one form or another to
the department, Boyette said.
National competition are held from
timetotime which award education grants
as the prize. Boyette feels, however, h�t
thes competitions are not regular a JI BOd
to favor the "Ivy League" schools.
Boyette observed that ECU has similar
aid opportunities as other schools of its
size. When asked if there was a possibility
of additional funds being available for aid,
Boyette remarked, "There's always hope

Steering committe aims
for better homecoming
GIBERT KENNEDY
Special to the Fountainhead
Following last year's Homecoming, the
Homecoming Steering Committee met to
critique the weekend and made several
recommendations for further improving
the festivities.
This year the Steering Committee will
have funds donated by the Athletic
Department, the Student Union, Men's
Residence Council, Women's Residence
Council, the Alumni Association,
Greenville merchants, the University
Union, Panhellenic, Inter-Fraternity Coun-
cil Student Supply Store and the
SGA. These funds will be used to assist
organizations in defraying the costs for
parade floats, decorations and publicity.
Secondly, the Steering Committee
hopes to have the major programs
scheduled by the end of Spring Quarter so
that all organizations sponsoring a major
program will have plenty of time to plan
their event and so that the Steering
Committee will have time to schedule
these events so that there are no
programming conflicts as occurred last
year
Thirdly, the Steering Committee has
received a letter from Chancellor Jenkins
delegating to the committee full authority
in scheduling and coordinating the various
programs. This is not intended to
discourage participation but simply to
insure that a coherent program of events is
scheduled rather than the more or less
disorganized collage of events that overlap
and conflict with each other.
The Committee has set May 7 as the
deadline for organizations to offer
programs to be included in the
Homecoming Period of October 27 through
November 3. and still receive scheduling
priority, consideration for financial
assistance priority, and publicity priority.
After this date, programs can still be
uded, but there can be no guarantees
!cr financial aid. scheduling priorities, or
inclusion in the Committee's publicity
efforts. If your organization wishes to
-icipate. contact C.Q. Brown, Director
of institutional Development in Room 140,

Anglo-American folk scng tradition as the
Scottish, Irish and English settlers
brought with them to the hills of
Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky and the
Carolinas, the songs of their ancestors.
The songs were modified by Negro blues
and a heavy emphasis from religious and
gospel music and in time Northern popular
music and jazz. Workers migrating from
the rural South to Northern factories took
bluegrass along with them.
DR CHARLES G. HURST, founder and former president of Malcolm X Unfowjjty n
Chicago, will speak In Wright Auditorium tonight at 8:00 p.m. The lecture, bJg haW I"
conjunction vrfththe Black Arts Festival Is under the auspices of the ECU Shjdent Union
Lecture Series Committee. Tickets on sale In the ECU Central Ticket Office. Public
tickets are priced at $2.00, ECU staff tickets are $1.00 and students and faculty membes
will be admitted with their I.D. cards.
The thing about bluegrass music is that
it appeals to people from the whole
spectrum, from the right, the left and tha
center. The music is not commerical folk
orcommerical country, but the pure music
of real America, meaning it won't be
"hillbilly" or "country or western" or even
the "Nashville Sound Songs of life, love
and the world, all done to the pulsing beat
of a twangy banjo. It's bluegrass.

Dean of Admissions
Home helps solve student's problems
BY MIKE PARSONS
Staff Writer
Have a problem that needs solving and
you don't know who to talk to?
Jack Home, ECU Dean of Admission
says his phone is connected to every office
on campus. With that phone, he can find
an answer to your plight.
"How can you teach and not get
interested in young people?" asks Home
who was the principal of Granger High
School in Kinston before coming to
ECU. He is interested in the ECU students
and their problems.
Home sees the ECU students as
intelligent, well-behaved and most
cooperative. However, they sometimes do
not know how to explain their problems
and thus have trouble finding an answer he
says.
The Admissions Office has no real
authority in matters other than admitting
students, explains Home. He does,
however, know people that can help with
other student problems and can direct the
student to them.
The problems that Home can deal with,
though, are mixups in paperwork and
information concerning quality points and
readmissions. His office deals with
problems of students seeking to gain
admission for the first time as well as
those who for one reason or another had to
leave school.
There was one student for instance,
who came to the office and wanted to
know how he could reenter school in the
JACK HORNE
fall, recalls Home. When the student's
records were pulled, they still listed him as
an active student. However, someone in
the dorm had told him he was no longer
enrolled and the student had just quit
going to class without talking to anyone.
"If a question is bothering you, it's
extremely important says Home. His
philosophy is that if you don't understand
something, you didn't ask.
Change in students and their attitudes
was discussed at some length by Home.
"I am amazed at the growth in the
quality of ECU students as well as the
quantity exclaims Home. When he
assumed the post of Dean of Admission
in 1960, ECU had an enrollment of 4,000
students.
Home sees a definite change in today's
college student. He feels the student is
more serious minded academically and
looks at college as a thing of
self-satisfaction and preparation for life.
Home thinks the student recognizes
the worth of the individual now. What you
have to say and what you have to think are
important to your individual worth, he
explained.
"There is a change in temptations.
Every generation has its 'thing' if that's
what you want to call it observes
Home. He added that in his college days,
there was prohibition and their 'thing' was
to find a bootlegger.
"Today's student is very definitely
much better prepared states Home. He
recalled a meeting five or six years ago
where seven mathematicians remarked
that they did not have calculus until their
junior year in college
It is increasingly common to find high
school graduates who have already had
calculus as well as advanced courses in
the sciences such as physics and
chemistry, explained Home.
Veterans are seen as setting a trend as
well. "The veteran is more self-directive
observes Home. "He is back in school
because he wants to come. He needs a
formal education to fulfill his goals
Admitting students who can't fill
normal admission requirements is not
seen as a particular problem by
Home. This same admission policy had
been maintained by the University over the
past six years but on a much smaller scale.
Home feels that these students don't
make the grades for external reasons and
not lack of ability. Of those admitted in
the past under special programs, about
30-35 percent completed without specia-
lized attention.
Home came to ECU in 1957 at the
invitation of Dr. Bessick, who was then
college president, and in 1960 assumed
the post of Dean of Admissions and
Registrar.
Transient ECU-Japan student tells ordeal
By SUSAN QUINN
Staff Writer
Field trips are a basic part of the
curriculum for ECU students at the Kansai
University of Foreign Studies, Osaka,
Japan. The following are portions of two"
articles provided by Jan Gettler, an ECU
anthropology major from Westbury, New
York and Kathy Wacaser, a sophomore
from Knox College, Illinois, participating
in the Asian Studies Program as a visiting
or transient ECU student.
Wacaser's article deals with her return
to the U.S. over the Christmas holidays as
a guest of her Japanese "mother" who was
on a business trip.
"The shock of a different America was
much stronger while I was learning about a
new country (Japan), and seeing the
differences when I re-entered America as a
visitor she explained.
"In reading the newspaper I noticed
such things as the American desire to
change what they don't like (Watergate)
and affluence (not taking much notice of
the oil crisis) and the idea of equality
(auditing Nixon's tax returns). But there
were a few things I wasn't prepared for. I
had never gone places in America with an
obvious foreigner before and I was
appalled by the reactions. For instance
the taxi driver seemed to think that we
were rich touristers she continued.
"My ideas of politeness have changed
too. I don't even notice all the bowing and
polite language in restaurants and stores
in Japan. But I was shocked at the
rudeness of sales people in America acting
as if they were doing me a favor
Wacaser explained that she had also
changed during her stay in Japan and
found it uneasy to understand the Negro
and Spanish accents spoken in America.
"All in all, the big change was in my
outlook of America came when I was in
Japan after returning from the states she
concluded.
Gettler's article describes her visits to
Okinawa, an island recently returned to
Japanese control after being under U.S.
administration since 1945.
"I found the Okinawan people almost
cf opposite degree than of the mainland
Japanese. Certainly so many American
bases have a lot to do with this. The
women did not paint their faces as much,
nor wear the 30's style clothing as in
Japan Gettler explained.
She said that the people were polite
even in crowds, "I attended New Year's Eve
celebration Japanese style by going to the
temple, and although there were mobs of
people no one pushed or shoved through
the crowd. I also sensed a relaxed
atmosphere, where the people had plenty
of time to get things done; this might be
attributed to their long sub-tropical
weather she continued.
"We travelled with a native
Okinawan. He showed us the whole island
in guided tours in his car. Up near the
Northern tip between the mountains, we
saw many isolated thatched roof fishing
communities. Many stores stayed open all
night mainly for the servicemen, but at any
rate the town came alive after 10:00 p.m
Gettler said that she enjoyed Okinawa
so much that she hopes to return this
spring as well as visiting some lower
Southern islands and continue her studies.
ALASKAN GOLD
One of the largest construction projects ever attempted is about to
being, a 3.6 billion dollar, 48 inch pipeline to bring oil to an energy
hungry nation. Some Economists predict that Alaska's population
will increase 6 percent while employment will double in the next few
years. It could be the last chance for the ordinary man to get wealthy
by average means. What are your chances of being a part of
it? What about cost of living, schools, sports, careers, etc.? We
have all the facts, the truth about Alaska. Our pamphlet was
prepared by longtime residents of Alaska. They have seen people
come and go - some became wealthy, some had to borrow money to
go home. If you or your friends are thinking about the opportunities
in Alaska, this is the best investment you will ever make. Send $2.00

The book business
Regardless of which party is responsible for book delays, students have begun to
accept these delays as one of the more trying aspects ot university life.
The problem comes in several equally-uncomfortable varieties. Students sign up for
a course whose books arrive late, or the bookstore runs out of books, and by the time the
shipment arrives the quarter is nearly over. This necessitates searching through library
stacks to find some edition of the text until the books arrive; generally the library has
only one copy of the book, and the remainder of the students are left to muddle through
aimlessly or play the book-borrowing game. Either way, it's frustrating.
Part of the problem concerns the bookstore cutbacks. The student bookstore claims
it cuts the original faculty request, ordering on the basis of how the book sold earlier and
how many students have preregistered for the course. While we sympathize with the
bookstore and the precarious ways of publishing companies, we can't help but think
there must be a better modification somewhere.
Preregistration is followed by those massive drop-add lines - the number of students
in any one course rarely remains static; while we are unfamiliar with the business of
book-ordering it seems that faculty members and the bookstore might negotiate some
sort of quick system by which the bookstore could be notified immediately as to the
reorder quantity needed. Often we've been in courses where books would be sold out
and not reordered until several weeks into the quarter, whether due to negligence or
unawareness of the instructor.
The book business is difficult to solve. Even were faculty and the bookstore to
perfect a system, the publishers would still be there to gum up the works. Perhaps the
best system of all is expansion and increased patronization of the Veterans' Book Co-Op
which operates at the beginning of each quarter. This system bypasses the bureaucracy
and leaves it all up to the students - a system that profits only the patrons, with no
dangers of overstocking or jacked-up prices.
Fountainhead looks forward to the time when students will be able to take care of
their own books via the co-opand as for the new books the co-op doesn't
handle: back to the bookstore.

Dentente in trouble
By JACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON - Newspapers have
reported that the Chinese-American
detente is in trouble. As evidence, they
have cited the new cultural revolution
sweeping through Communist China. This
has sparked a campaign against all things
foreign. Even Henry Kissinger's friend,
Premier Chou En-lai, has spoken out
against alleged US. "aggression China
also turned back US. wheat shipments
contaminated with fungus.
Everything I have seen, however,
mdicates the reports of a deteriorating
detente simply not true. The secret cable
traffic and intelligence reports indicate
that Chinese-American relations not only
remain friendly, but probably will improve.
The confidential cables from American
diplomats in Peking, for example, reveal
that daily contacts between Chinese and
American officials are lengthy, candid and
cordial. U.S. businessmen are pleased
over their reception in China.
Intelligence reports, furthermore,
indicate that the new cultural revolution is
completely controlled by the Communist
party; this was not true in the last political
upheaval. Party officials have issued strict
orders, for example, that propanganda
posters are to be put up only after working
hours.
The "revolution in short, is not going
to be conducted at the expense of
production. Chou En-lai's critical com-
ments can be attributed to the fact that he
is a wily leader with a survival instinct
which rivals Richard Nixon's. And as far
as the wheat rot incident is concerned, the
simple fact is that the Chinese refuse to
pay good money for tainted grain.
The China-watching press tends to put
too much emphasis on trivial incidents.
They sometimes see a calamity in a simple
sneeze. This time, it appears, they are
reading the signs wrong.
Impeachment Debate: Republicans
defending President Nixon from impeach-
ment charges are haunted by their own
partisan effort four years ago to impeach
Supreme Court Justice William 0.
Douglas.
At that time, Gerald Ford was in the
forefront of the impeachment drive. An
impeachable offense, Ford declared, was
anything a majority of the House said it
was. Now Ford, and the other
Republicans who follow the White House
line, are trying frantically to narrow that
defir ition.
A kay element of today's impeachment
debate centers on the role of President
Nixon's Watergare lawyer James St.
Clair. The Republicans have ordered a
special brief defending the right of St.
Clair to participate. Yet four years ago
Ford said "no such right existed
In fact, Ford wrote to then Judiciary
chairman Emanuel Celler that the
participation of Justice Douglas' attorney
would result "in a sweepinp whitewash of
every allegation as it appears
The committee's senior Republican,
Rep. Ed. Hutchinson of Michigan, served
on the special investigation of
Douglas. At that time he insisted it should
"include an investigation into improper
conduct
Now, Hutchinson is singing a different
tune. He now tells me the President's
offenses must be impeachable, not merely
improper. But the past statements hang
m
m
m
m
-�m�
heavily over the Republican's head.
Power Fever: Energy czar William
Simon and budget chief Roy Ash, like two
rams locked in mortal combat, have been
butting heads over who will control the
nation's economic policies.
Their power struggle illustrates what's
going on in government these days. Pre-
sident Nixon is so mired down in
Watergate that decision making has been
delegated, more and more, to others. This
has caused a spring outbreak of power
fever in Washington.
The Simon-Ash fight offers an
excellent case study. As Watergate
widened, Secretary of Treasury George
Shultz assumed virtual control of the
nation's economic policymaking. He
became a sort of domestic Henry
Kissinger. His resignation, therefore,
created a power vacuum which Simon and
Ash are scrambling to fill.
Insiders say Ash wanted the Treasury
job, but Simon got it. Ash then sought to
whittle down Simon's new responsi-
bilities. On a flight back fro Key Hiscayne,
Ash urged the President not to grant
Simon the super-cabinet status that Shultz
enioyed. Ash argued that some of Shlutz's
power should be passed to his own budget
office. Nixon reportedly agreed.
However, it was a hollow victory. My
White House sources say Simon and Ash
have been battling over status and power
that neither of them will win. It will be
distributed evenly among all economic
aides.
Gas Rip-Off: The gas shortage should
be eased, if not ended, this summer unless
the Arabs renew their embargo. Federal
authorities expect a seven per cent oil
shortage, they tell me, but this can be
overcome by conservation.
In other words, there should be plenty
of gas for your summer vacations. But you
should still hold down your speed and
avoid side trips.
Senators, meanwhile, are investigating
whether the oil companies contrived the
gas shortage to prop up prices. During the
worst of the shortage, I made spot checks
at refineries and storage facilities. I spoke
to the workers, not the oil company
spokesmen. Almost everywhere I check-
ed, I found the storage tanks brim full of
gas. This led me to suspect there would
be enough gas at the pumps as soon as the
price was right.
Gasoline prices, of course, have now
gone up, and the oil companies have
defended the price rise by claiming their
profits are no higher than those of other
U.S. industries.
On paper, this is true enough. But
most of the major oil companies report the
bulk of their profits overseas, not in the
United States. That way, they don't have
to pay heavy U.S. taxes on them. In
addition, these overseas profits are added
to the cost of oil shipped to this
country. The excess overseas profits, in
other words, are trested as extra expense
and are added to the price that the motorist
must pay.
Simplified, this means the oil
companies actually collect profits on their
profits.
It costs only 12 cents to produce a
barrel of Saudi Arabian oil. That's 42
gallons, which comes out to a quarter-cent
a gallon. It doean't take a mathematician
to figure out that someone is getting a
rip-off.

Smoking
To Fountainhead:
It has been a number of weeks since
there was a letter to the paper concerning
the practice of smoking in confined
spaces, such as classrooms or
buildings. I wish to raise the issue again,
more in terms of interpersonal respect.
With the expectation that spring will
eventually get to Greenville, there is the
mminent arrival of pollen and other
hayf everrespiratory influences to the
expected in the air. For individuals like
Imyself, this also heralds hours and weeks
of misery with a runny nose, clogged
si n uses and ot her d i scomfort s. As t hough
the natural causes of these problems were
not sufficient, those who choose to smoke
n enclosed or crowded spacrs also choose
to complicate respiratory function, not
Dnly for allergy sufferers, who need
eaner air for breathing comfort, but
jitimately for anyone breathing the air
around the smoker. (Smoke, as an irritant
omplicates and causes a higher
suscept ability to allergens in allergy
suffers.)
Even though there are many actions
hat occur daily which are annoying to
hose who must put up with them, these
hings usually do not involve the
Dhysically injurious or physically irritating
Dhenomena smoking involves. I could
Derhaps continue writing like this,
complaining and expressing distaste for
he habit of smokine when it puts others in
iuch a discomforting environment. Bas-
cally though, the crux of my complaint is
hat I resent the thoughtlessness involves
n leaving me no choice (as in a classroom
situation, etc.) except to inhale the filthy
umes, to smoke involuntarily the more
larmful gases which enter the air
jnfiltered, off the end of the cigarette, or
vhatever else is being smoked. If I come
nto your house, your office or any other
irea where you are assigned or are the
wner (when it is not a public place) or
rtherwise a place I can voluntarily leave
this isn't true in the classroom if I wish to
iraduate), then go ahead and smoke. In a
imilar vein, smoking is not allowed in my
louse and I choose to defend my right to
ireathe clean air. I do not quarrel with
lose who choose to smoke. I only ask
hat they respect my right and privilege to
lot smoke. Not smoking is ot should be a
ight whereas smoking is or should be no
nore than a privilege, at the proper time, in
in appropriate place.

Fine arts
To Fountainhead:
On Monday, April 22, 1974, the SGA
will consider for adoption a bill that is
extremely important to the present and
future of the ECU Fine Arts. It has been
the policy of the SGA to appropriate funds
to the Fine Arts Program. The SGA is to
be commended for their efforts in
supporting the Fine Arts; however, in the
past few years, they have failed to
adequately fund all three facets of the Fine
Arts: Art, Drama and Music.
A bill will be presented this coming
Monday to transfer one dollar from the
SGA allotment of eight dollars and a half
per quarter and establish the Fine Arts
Advisory Board. This is undoubtedly the
best and most efficient method of financial
support of the Fine Arts. Experienced
legislators, Harry Stubbs, Bill Beckner,
and Braxton Hall, have labored long and
hard to construct this most necessary
bill. This legislation, if passed, will enable
ECU to compete with such powers as
Florida State University, Indiana Univer-
sity, University of Michigan, and others
who have long ago adopted such financial
prodecures.
Students, if you actually support the
Fine Arts, who have brought the ECU
campus a high degree of excellent
entertainment - Hair, Bernstein's Mass,
Senior Art Shows, La Boheme,
Beethoven's Ninth - then sign the petitions
that are circulating in the dorms and on
campus and be present at Wright
Auditorium on April 22, 1974, Monday,
5:00 p.m. Through your written and visual
support, you can show your desire to see
ECU take a right step in the right direction.

Dorm mess
To Fountainhead:
Hasn't anybody but me realized the
filth that we are living in at Greene
dorm? Is the custodial service on strike?
I cannot see the work being left undone
as it has been in the last month or so. The
bathrooms are a total disaster. The sinks,
commodes, walls, floors and showers are
not cleaned thoroughly, (if at all) and
therefore leaves a disgusting odor for its
occupants.
Just to mention the incidents that have
occurred this week: Somebody over the
weekend got drunk and pukes all in one
stall in the bathroom. The smell of liquor
still reeks, and the mess is yet to be
cleaned. The showers are stopped up with
hair and soap, and roaches and whirlwinds
of dust lay in the halls.
Can't something be done? I hate living
in the dorm anyway, but being an
underclassman I have to. Why make us
live in this filth?

Laws
To Fountainhead:
Recently while bicycling home from
class one night I was stopped on Fifth
Street by two policemen. They informed
me that I was breaking a city ordinance by
riding my bike without a light, and cited
me with a $16 fine.
It is true that there are those of us who
hold prejudice attitudes towards the
Greenville Police Department. But it is
also true that these civil servants have an
unremitting duty to enforce the law
enacted by out legislators. The voting
public has entrusted to these legislators
the responsibility of enacting just and
non-discriminating laws. But does such a
city ordinance levying a $16 fine for riding
a bike without a light reflect intelligent,
just rationale? It should be obvious to
anyone that the majority of people riding a
bicycle do so because they have a limited
income and cannot afford a costlier means
of transportation. When I am a victim of
such unreasonable and explotative laws I
become antagonized. But towards whom
should I direct my frustrations? Did not
our elected officials legislate this
law? Were they not elected on the
strength of their supposed abilities to
enact just laws designed to maintain order
in the community. When one of these
laws is broken a specified punishment,
equal in magnitude to the law broken, is
imposed upon the lawbreaker. It is no
longer appropriate that the punishment
should fit the crime. By levying such an
exorbitant fine it is possible that these
legislators considered the adequate
rehabilitative punishment for such a minor
infraction of the law. It seems that the
most effective pubishment, one that would
should the lawbreaker the error of his
ways, would be that the lawbreaker must a
purchase a light for his bike, and on the
appointed day in court, shine that light in
the eyes of the presiding judge. Of course
if justice is as blind as she is often
portrayed to be then that all important
bicycle light would not be seen anyway.

To Fountainhead:
I was appalled by the letter from
"Friends of the accused" requesting funds
for a friend who was arrested for the
"manufacture of marijuana Under cur-
rent laws as everyone realizes the
possession of marijuana is illegal. There-
fore, the "friend" should suffer the
consequences. The appeal for money was
received very unsympathetically. Also I
discovered that some people are not
particular when it comes to choosing
friends. Since the "friend" likes plants so
well he ought to feel at home working in

Bicycle
To Fountainhead:
I would like to congratulate the puke
that had the nerve to steal my bike Monday
night. It seems to be quite a popular fad
here in Greenville now, with many rackets
existing and many different people
involved.
Whoever it was in my case must have
had my place pretty well staked out,
because it was cable-locked to my porch
and .as stolen between midnight and
six-thirty when I go to work each morning
here at the university. The bike, a
burnt-orange Jeunet, is worth more than
two hundred dollars so the thieves got
their money's worth. It wouldn't be so bad
if I had the money to replace it, but sing
poor I can't. It was also my main means of
transportation around Greenville and gave
me plenty of enjoyable exercise.
Although I disapprove of many actions
taken by both the city and campus police,
I would not at all object to anyone caught
in the act of stealing bikes being beaten
and their testicles ruptured. I personally
intend on using the karate I have learned
here to deal v ifh my thieving pukes if I
catch them or anyone else I catch. It hurts
worse when it happens to you, so people
beware, your bikes may be next.

PRC major requires action
By HELENA WOODARD
Staff Writer
To major in Parks, Recreation and
Conservation, (PRC), students must do
field work in various recreational
programs. As a result, some students
have embarked upon some interesting and
helpful projects in and around the
Greenville area.
PRC majors may do nine hours of field
work during the year or an optional five
weeks of summer field work. Students
work with the Greenville Recreational
Department, the Boy's Club and the
University Union among others. Grad-
uates may go on to work with county or
municipal programs under a variety of
recreational settings.
The department has a working
relationship with recreation agents who
are anxious to have students do fieid
experiences. PRC majors have a great d�
to do with choosing their own project
and are encouraged to seek an agenc A
new area which students may enter inc i de
Commercial Recreation, which is just
opening up.
In the spring of 1972, the first PRC
graduates consisted of nine students, in
1973, the number had increased to
seventeen graduates. Thirty graduates are
expected at the end of this spring. There
are currently 150 PRC majors.
A recent example of a student who was
engaged in a community project in Jerome
Owens, a senior PRC major. Owens
worked with the Pitt County Boy's Club
during the Winter Quarter. The boys,
ranging in ages from 11-16, enjoyed "rap
sessions" on varying topics - basketball,
(Owens was point guard for the Pirates),
boxing, wrestling, drug abuse and
personal problems and experiences.
Jerome had this to say about his
experiences, "I found I had a lot in
common with the kids. I could relate to
them - had a similar background He said

Council meetings solve family problems
By CAROL WOOD
Staff Writer
A ten year old's vote is equal to an adult
vote in Dr. Edward "Mel" Markowski's
family.
Dr. Markowski, a professor in the ECU
Child Development and Family Relations
Department and Assistant to the Dean of
Home Economics is a marriage and family
counselor who believes in "equality and
cooperation" in his own family.
Family council meetings are held each
Sunday after church, according to Dr.
Markowski.
At these meetings family matters are
discussed, the budget is reviewed,
allowances are given, and problems are
worked out in a logical, reasonable
fashion.
Rather than yelling at each other, they
simply say, "I have a problem .how can
we work this out?"
"Mel his wife Betsy, and their ten
year old son Mike, each have an equal vote
and an equal opportunity to express
themselves.
"It's like a forum Markowski stated.
The Markowskis even have equal
division of authority at their council
meetings.
Each week the positions of chairman,
secretary and fun-time planner are rotated.
According to Markowski, each month
$12.50 is allotted for family fun-time. It is
the job responsibility of the fun-time
planner to suggest ideas for family
entertainment that are within the limits of
this budget.
If the family spends most of the budget
one weekend, then the entertainment for
the remaining weekends must cost a
minimal amount. Working within the
small budget helps the family be creative
in finding things to do together.
Dr. Markowski stated the family likes to
ice skate, hike, play tennis and attend
cultural events.
No one individual can monopolize the
job of fun-time planner, for if he expects
the family to go along with his fun-time
suggestions, he must in turn cooperate
with the suggestions offered by other
family members.
The vote must be unanimous before
any fun-time activity can be carried out. A
split vote results in the family staying
home.
Because of the "unanimous vote"
condition, family members generally agree
on all fun-time activities, Markowski
said. Additionally any other decision must
comply with the unanimous vote
condition.
The family also has a system which
helps encourage respect for each family
member and their belongings.
Rather than nagging each other about
putting away their belongings, any family
member has the right to remove jackets,
shoes, papers, etcetera from community
rooms (living room, dining room, kitchen,
den and bathroom).
DR. EDWARD MARKOWSKI
These personal belongings are placed
in a special closet. The following week at
family council, these items can be
reclaimed.
The merits of this system, according to
Dr. Markowski, are that each person
remembers to put away his belongings,
and there is less discord between family
members.
"For instance Dr. Markowski said,
"suppose I left some test papers on the
living room floor. I would look pretty silly
if I told my students I couldn't return them
until I retrieved them from the family
closet, a week hence. Therefore, I don't
leave papers on the living room floor
Son, Mike recently told the family
council he did not think it was fair for his
father to leave his sport jacket on the
dining room chair, if he had to put his own
away.
The council agreed that putting things
away certainly applied to all family
members.
"It's an equalizing thing. No one

makes accusations, they merely express
their opinion Markowski said.
At the beginning of each s - year
the family plans the budget end 'lews
the calendar of events for the corning year.
Dr. Markowski said they ask Mike
approximately what he will need weekly for
supplies and spending money the ensuing
year.
"By showing a child the budget and
allowing him to help with the planning, he
is less apt to feel he can have anything he
wants Dr. Markowski stated.
The Markowskis have had this family
council system for three years. By using
it, Dr. Markowski said they have made a
good family relationship even better.
With this system, the planning results
in fewer conflicts so the family can be
together more.
Dr. Markowski seemed to value the
system highly because "everyone has an
imput
According to Dr. Markowski, "the
system is not perfect, but at least you can
work at the relationship
By scheduling a total time for family
entertainment each week, Dr. Markowski
said, "it keeps us doing things together
According to Dr. Markowski, the family
tries to live by the following
guidelines: mutual respect, equality,
responsibility and cooperation.
By the time a child reaches adolesence,
he usually wants to do thinqs with the
entire family, less frequently.
Dr. Markowski is confident that by the
time Mike reaches adolesence, he will still
want to do some things with the family.
Naturally the Markowskis expect Mike
to date. When this occurs, Dr. Markowski
said the family will simply be extended.
However, Dr. Markowski still plans for
just the family to do things together, even
after Mike reaches adolesence.
Being a psychologist and working in
the field of child development and family
relations, Dr. Markowski said it was
somewhat easier to rear children.
"I often see problems that are a lot
worse than myown. Because of this and
because I have some definite principles
that operate in my family, my problems are
not so overwhelming stated Dr.
Markowski.
"Our family life is a pleasant thing - we
enjoy living together Dr. Markowski said.
Dr. Markowski uses the same methods
and systems he advises those who come
to him for counseling to use. By using
them Dr. Markowski said he is familiar
with problems that might occur with a
particular method.
Dr. Markowski is not one of those who
stands on a pedestali giving out
platitudes. He is like a doctor who not
only prescribed, but also takes his own
medicine.
"That's the kind of thing I teach - that's
what I live by Dr. Markowski concluded.

Klas takes mile run but gain in S.C.
By STEVE TOMPKINS
Staff Writer
Gerald Klas continued to show he's one
of the premier distance runners in the East
Saturday at the Carolina Relays in Chapel
Hill.
After failing to qualify for the three mile
by one second last week, which would
have meant a trip to the NCAA
Championships, Klas took out his
disappointment in the mile run on UNC's
track.
In winning the gold medal in 4:09.9
Klas just missed the national qualifying
time in that event of 4:04. He would have
challenged for the trip to Austin, Texas
except for a poor field, with Tony Waldrop,
among others, absent.
The Pirates had one more winner in
Sam Phillips, who continued his high
hurdle dominance in North Carolina. Phil-
lips ran a 14.6 for the victory.
Though outshone by North Carolina
Central's 440 relay team anchored by Larry
Black, the ECU team broke the school
record in a very strong field. The team of
Larry Malone, Palmer Lisane, Sam Phillips
and Maurice Huntley ran a 41.5 for fourth
place.
Larry Malone again showed his
versatility in the vertical jumps by taking
two third places, 48'5" in the triple jump
and 23'5 112" in the long jump.
Willie Harvey finished fourth in the
long jump in 23'4
In the polevault, Arthur Miller of ECU
and Danny Deacon of UNC staged a two
man battle with Miller losing in a jumpoff
for first place. Miller cleared 14'6" for
second.
In only his second time ever running
the event, Al Kalameja finished third in the
3000 meter steeplechase in 9:45.2.
In the high jump Curt Dowdy cleared
6'4" for firth and Tom Watson and Ivey
Peacock finished third and fourth in the
shotput with throws of 48'8" and 487"
respectively.
The Pirates travel to West Virginia this
weekend for the prestigious Mountaineer
Relays.
Netters host Wildcats
The Pirate tennis team, currently 3-9
overall and 0-5 in the conference, will host
the Davidson Wildcats in a Southern
Conference match tomorrow. The match
will begin at 2 p.m. on Minges Courts.

East Carolina was beaten by Atlantic
Christian College in Wilson on Tuesday,
8-1. The only victory for the Bucs in that
dual match was in the number three
doubles as Chuck Lloyd and Neal Peterson
were victorious.
Before the season began coach Wes
Hankins was hopeful that his team could
improve their 7-11 record from last
year. An injury to number-one player Chris
Davis and a very tough schedule appears to
stand between the Pirates and a banner
year. Appearing on the East Carolina
schedule this year were tennis powers
Appalachian State Unviersity, North
Carolina State, North Carolina Wesleyan
and Old Dominion University.
Golfers face U.of R.

The East Carolina baseball team lost
three out of four games, yet improved on
their first place position in the Southern
Conference as Richmond and Appalachian
State split a doubleheader in recent
diamond action.
The Pirates dropped three non-confer-
ence games but won the only conference
contest they played to up their record in
the conference to 8-1. Richmond follows
at 6-2 with Appalachian third at 5-3. ECU
is slated for five more S.C. games, while
the Spiders and the Mounties must play
six.
April 12 saw the Pirates travel to
Pembroke to face one of the nation's
premier collegiate pitchers, Ron Norman.
Giving up only three singles and stiking
out 12, Norman led the Braves to a 3-0
victory.
Pirate sophomore righthander Joe
Heavner pitched well for the Bucs,
allowing only five hits. Pembroke
captialized on three Pirate errors as all the
runs tallied off Heavner were unearned.
The following day the Pirates traveled
to Charleston, S.C. to tangle with The
Citadel. Power hitting and strong relief
pitching sparked the Bucs to a 3-2 win over
the Bulldogs.
The Citadel struck first for two runs off
Dave LaRussa, who was relieved by Bill
Godwin in the fifth. Godwin would
eventually be credited with the victory, his
fifth of the season.
In the sixth inning Ron Staggs put the
Bucs back in the game with a solo
clout. John Narron followed suit in the
seventh, blasting a two-run shot to give
the Pirates the victory.
Monday, April 15, ECU dropped a
doubleheader on the road at the throngs of
UNC-Wilmington, 3-2 and 1-0. In the
second game the Pirates were victims of a
no-hitter tossed at them by Paul Fulton.
The third inning of the first game saw
the Bucs take what was to be their only
lead of the afternoon. Geoff Beaston
reached on a fielder's choice, advanced to
second on Russ Smith's single, stole third
and scored onStaggssacrifice fly.
However, the Seahawks jumped out to
a 2-1 advantage in the fifth inning off Buc
hurler Wayne Bland.
A rally by ECU deadlocked the game at
2-2 in the top of the sixth. Staggs led off
with double, was sacrificed to third and
scored on an error on the piay at the plate
after a ground ball by Cart Summerell.
Unfortunately the Seahawks came back
with a run of their own in the home half of
the inning to pull out the win, 3-2 as the
Pirates failed to score in the seventh.
The nightmare nightcap saw the Buc
nine victimized by Fulton's no-hitter. They
did succumb, but only 1-0 as Godwin
continued his stellar pitching. He allowed
only one Seahawk past first base all day,
but that man did manage to score to give
the victory to UNC-Wilmington.
ECU returns to crucial Southern
Conference action this Saturday against
the Indians of William and Mary. Game
time is 3 p.m. at Harrington Field.
THE EAST CAROUNA BASEBALL TEAM extended Its first place lead In the Southern
Conference when they defeated The Citadel and their closest competitors, Richmond and

LaRussa earns respect
Dave "Doc" LaRussa is really
bashful when you bring up the subject, but
the fact stands that a "loss" by the
University of Massachusetts and Florida
State University has turned out to be a gain
for East Carolina Univeristy's Pirates.
LaRussa, a native of En'ield, Conn
had narrowed his choice of schools to the
three listed. But after hearing a
recommendation from his high school
baseball coach, who played against the
Pirates on a spring trip, LaRussa just
"applied for school and tried out for the
team when I got here And "Doc" doesn't
regret his decision one bit.
"I wouldn't change my decision, if I had
it to do all over again, for anything in the
world said LaRussa. "I had never been
south of D.C. in my life prior to freshman
orientation, and since then my stay at East
Carolina has been great
The 6-2, 190-pound senior, sight
unseen, reported for baseball practice, and
"just walked over and made the team To
other Pirate baseball hopefuls, "Doc" said
he would employ a three-pronged recruitng
attack:
"First, I would stress the education
here said LaRussa. "Next, I would stress
the part the coaches play. They are both
fairly young and know how to treat
players. They know what is going ong
"And third, but still important, East
Carolina has been a great social
school. Like I said before, the people have
been just great

Colours I've none, dark or light red,
White or blue, cold is my touch freezing
Summoned by name, I am the overseer
over you.
As a high school athlete in
Connecticut, LaRussa participated in
basketball and briefly in football as well as
baseball. He walked off with his high
school's "Outstanding Athlete" award as a
senior due to basketball and baseball
exploits. But "Doc" also made an
interesting comparison of high school
baseball, matching his area and his newly
found home.
"I really don't think a high school player
reaches his potential as early in the
northern areas of the country LaRussa
explained. "Because up there, the weather
is so bad that you can only play about a
month or so per year. I only played 16
games total in high school
While he isn't menacing Pirate
opponents with his various lefthanded
deliveries, LaRussa engages in an activity
quite uncommon to most baseball players,
though it have been a very "economical"
hobby: cooking.
"I cook all my meals LaRussa
explained. "I never eat out, which saves
me a lot of money
LaRussa's specialities include, for the
most part, spaghetti and lasagna. He
credited his "Aunt Fran" as being "just
about the best cook around. Aunt Fran
can really cook spaghetti, lasagna,
homemade soup and just about anything
you want to name smiled LaRussa.
"Boy, does she ever take care of me when I
go home
Another person LaRussa credits with
taking care of him while he is in
Pirate hurler Dave LaRussa, through
the first 17 games of the season, lead the
nation in ERA with a 0.00 through 41
innings, according to figures recently
released by the NCAA Statistics Service in
New York. This did not include the two
runs LaRussa gave up Monday against
UNC-Wilmington which raised his ERA to
0.40.
Also, the East Carolina pitching staff
is leading the nation in team ERA with a
mark of 0.88. The Pirates gave up only 14
earned runs in their first 17 games.
Connecticut is his father, Phillip
LaRussa. "Doc" spoke of the high esteem
in which he held his father in tones usually
reserved for discussing The Trinity, and for
good reason.
"Whenever I wanted to play, he let me
revalled LaRussa. "He never in one dav
told me I had to do anything; he let mc
enjoy the high school life, and then I woulc
v ork all summer to get ready for high
school and now college again
"He put two of my older sisters through
college before me, and whenever I wantec
anything, he helped me out. You really
just learn to love and respect a guy like
that
Respect is something "Doc" teaches
opponents, too. Through the first 17
games of the Pirate season, LaRussa hac
pitched 41 and one-third innings, giving
up 22 hits and no earned runs for ar
earned-run-average of 0.00. However,
string of what outsiders would term "hare
luck" has held LaRussa's won-lost record
to 3-1.
"I don't care if I go 0-0 all season, as
long as the team wins said
LaRussa. "Because the team is what
matters
With a teammate like LaRussa, the
Bucs indeed have an added gain. The
Pirates have gained seven out of the nine
times "Doc" has pitched in his college
career. And to think those two other
colleges will probably never know exactly
what they lost.
